master plan for aging

About

Recognizing that California’s over-65 population is projected to grow to 8.6 million by 2030, Governor Gavin Newsom issued an executive order calling for the creation of a Master Plan for Aging. The Master Plan will serve as a blueprint that can be used by state government, local communities, private organizations and philanthropy to build environments that promote an age friendly California. The Master Plan for Aging was released on January 6^th, 2021.

Meetings

Engagement

The Master Plan for Aging’s Stakeholder Advisory Committee (SAC) formally presented its recommendations to the Administration in October, which were informed through public comment and policy recommendations in several ways, including public meetings, email, Webinar Wednesdays, and surveys.

From July 10 -24^th, the California Department of Aging collected input specifically on how COVID-19 has affected the lives of Californians and how these lessons learned should inform the Master Plan.

If you would like to share a comment or recommendation, please send an email to Engage@aging.ca.gov.

Stakeholder Feedback

Milliman Long Term Services & Supports Feasibility Study

In accordance with the Budget Act of 2019, the California Department of Health Care Services contracted with Milliman, a national actuarial firm, to prepare a feasibility study and actuarial analysis of long-term services and supports financing and services options. From November 2019 through January 2020, Milliman consulted with the state and a number of stakeholders in California, to gather information, priorities, and feedback for this study.

In July, DHCS published the Interim Report for this Feasibility Study, linked here, to provide background, stakeholder findings, and a list of policy options. The Final Report provides actuarial analysis and fiscal estimates of the policy options in the Interim Report. Please note that for both the Interim and Final Reports, the analysis, model design, and fiscal estimates were prepared independently by Milliman, and do not reflect proposals or commitments by the Newsom Administration.

The Final Report of the Long-Term Services and Support (LTSS) Feasibility Study prepared by Milliman can be found online.
